CD Key warning from id -- 2:22 pm CST, Update by The Master

Update: Todd made an addendum to his earlier plan with the following:

Update on so-called KeyGen programs: These don't work. Trust me. The math isjust astronomical. They are Trojan Horse virus programs that will steal your (working) CD Key and email it off to some anonymous account or do something worse. They are getting passed around the Net and IRC. Please be wary.

Original Posting: Well, it looks like people are being taken in by the "This is id-send us your CD key" emails. Todd Hollenshead updated his .plan with the following warning:

Be smart. Do NOT send your CD Key to anyone. We will NOT contact you EVER asking for you to send us your key without you contacting us first. You should treat your CD Key like a credit card or your social security number andkeep it private.

My question is: Don't people recognize these scams? Or is this all 8-year-olds? Good grief . . .
